Quantal Theory of Gravity (QTG): Essential points and implications

Abstract

“Quantal Theory of Gravity” (QTG) is a new undertaking that describes the behavior of classical and quantum particles in a gravitational field – and, in fact, any field the object at hand interacts with – on the basis of the law of energy conservation. QTG successfully combines metric and dynamical methodologies via a conjoint quantum mechanical formulation. Accordingly, a wave-like test object consisting of a quantal part and a corpuscular part – whose energies are initially identical and which start as concentric – must get torn apart when it engages gravity; and such a test object should then be treated separately as a two-entity problem. We further show that the said problem can be reduced to a single-entity problem. This straightforwardly delivers a new quantal equation of motion, and points to a novel metric expression of space-time wherefrom one can reverse-engineer all of the classical findings of the past century. Said feature constitutes one of the principal novelties in this contribution. Thus, QTG and the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) yield, within the measurement precision, identical results for classical problems, except singularities, through though totally different means. What is more, QTG separately explains the propagation of projectile-like objects such as high-energy γ-quanta (which thus do not behave wave-like); in which case, QTG predicts the nullification of gravitational attraction. This constitutes another principal novelty of QTG, the manuscript at hand brings up (which is backed by a recent experiment). Finally, we show how GTR could have so successfully coped with the known classically measured results only (and amazingly though) as a consequence of the quantal application of QTG and its single-entity approach. That constitutes the final and most cardinal novelty we herein bring to attention.
